Michelle - you're killing me.... I've thus far managed to convince myself that I wouldn't even like the GF, so there's no point even considering it. BUT, between your descriptions and photos, I'm a goner now! It's back on the "someday" list. Right up there at the top.

And the CA Grill - my all-time favorite place! Everyone's meals look soooo yummy.

Love the DVC Mixer; what a great idea! Did WDW come up with it, or is it run by DVC members?

Yay your new TR is up and going! Fabulous as per usual. Grand Floridian- wow! How exciting! I've never read a GF trip report before so I can't wait to hear all about your experiences here. Glad to hear that you enjoyed CG...when we went we had a bad experience but I'm assuming it was just an off night. Anxiously awaiting more

This year we shared a tree with another DVC family. They had a 4ft tree delivered to the Boardwalk, and when they checked out, they left it with bell services for us. It was a $29 pre-let tree from JoAnns.com. We added two strands of lights that we packed, plus garland and ornaments. I was very happy with the way it turned out. Here's a picture of it...

We did order a tree from the Disney florist in 2003, and we paid around $200 for it. They put it up in our room and shipped it home for us. From what I've read, the trees almost doubled in price since then.

Happy New Year!

You are such a good planner Michelle!! You sound like us going from here to there in minutes but that way you see everything right? I want to know how the private tea went? I would love for my 6yr dd and I to do that. The price wasn't bad at all. I copied your countdown mickey heads. I had a ton of paint chips from HD in my desk drawer and I set them up like u had, we only have 7 more days. I'm like you, I can't believe it is almost here. You get so anxious but honey I'm not going to knit any scarves anytime soon!!! You just keep going over all the lists over and over. I want to try the california grill. It looked very nice. We already have our adrs for this trip buy maybe in Sept. we will try that one. I loved all of your shirts!! I'm hoping my mama got me some of those disney crocs for my birthday!!! My dd has those exact ones. Too Cute!!!
Enjoyed your report! Excellent!

Thank you very much! We're a Sony family! The hubby & I share an F828 and Jordan has a DSC-W100. They are both 8 megapixel cameras. We use Sony miniDV cameras, too. We've got a TRV-80 and we bought Brenna a DCR-HC36 for her birthday, knowing that she'd be using it on this trip. We got tired of not being in any of the pictures or video! Delegating the photo/video tasks to the kids worked out great for us!!!

-Michelle

i was going to buy the dsc-w100, but i ended up with the samsung i6. i loved the features of the sony. i'll probably go with a sony for my next camera. i was afraid though, some people really hated the w100, which is why i was skeptical to buy it. i'm glad to see that the pictures are gorgeous with the sony's!

can't wait for your next installment!

Loved hearing the happenings at the MK from our balcony in Conch Key made the atmosphere extra special! can not wait to read more!
